The Chanel fall 2013 couture collection stole the spotlight as expected at this Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. The front row was packed with celebs: Vanessa Paradis, Milla Jovovich, Kristen Stewart and Rose Byrne being some of the attendees. But the one attendee that stole the spotlight was definitely Rihanna. Still, as fascinating as front rowers were, the runway looks presented on Tuesday morning exceeded expectations by far. Only Karl Lagerfeld could bring such a compelling selection of clothes that combined "tradition with future."

The title of the new Chanel couture 2013 collection“The Old World and the New World” definitely help explain the seemingly contradictory motifs and the unexpected setting: a broken down theater and a seemingly apocalyptic scenario.

The 67 looks that defined the Chanel fall 2013 couture collection definitely showed the powerful shift in perspective couturiers before him expressed: the desire to change the belief that couture creations are meant for the red carpet only. For its practical enderavors, the designer chose a fabric close to his heart: tweet which was used for everything from jackets and coats to geometric hats. There were Victorian and Edwardian influences and a multitude of dramatic proportions that brought the futuristic allure the “New World” part of inspiration was all about.

While the multitude of menswear-inspired pieces found in the Chanel couture fall 2013 collection brought the dramatic allure the designer craved, feminine accents like tight feminine dress sleeves balanced the new line. Strong textural contrasts ensured that the new options would never fail to intrigue: tweed and sequins, silk and wool or metallic accents dominated the show. The dramatic cuts, the focus on perfectly defined proportions along with the abstract patterns definitely managed to bring an eclectic futuristic mood.

Just because the Chanel fall 2013 couture collection was focused around practical ensembles, it doesn't mean that eveningwear was neglected. Here is where the expressionist influences were most visible: the play with volume became more dramatic, the embroideries were more complex, the feminine accents were much more distinguishable. Intriguing, spectacular and dramatic, the looks from the newest Chanel collection never failed to surprise, proving that the designer has a seemingly limitless set of tricks up his sleeves.

From flowing blonde hair to short and modern hair cuts, Charlize Theron's hair has been through many transformations, but the most comfortable look seems to be the pixie.

Charlize Theron Short Hair 2013

With a brand new haircut, Charlize Theron drew praise at the Academy Awards Ceremony for her daring look. The change of style for Charlize Theron was caused for her role in Mad Max: Fury Road.

The South African beauty sported an extreme pixie cut, after having the back of her head shaved for the role. "This is three months old. It was so short", Charlize Theron explained on the red carpet.

Charlize Theron's short hair is the most satisfying look according to the 37 year old: "It's the most freeing thing, I highly recommend it. I think every woman should do it."

The biggest advantage of a short haircut is the way it needs much less styling and care, according to the blonde beauty: "I had two huge garbage bags full of hair products."

Charlize Theron Dark Hair

Her newest pixie cut is Charlize Theron's most talked about hairstyle since she temporarily left her blonde locks behind for a black bob hairstyle for the movie Aeon Flux.

One of the few well-received things about the movie was her look as the futuristic super-heroine, including Charlize Theron's black hair color.

The Burberry fall 2013 campaign confirmed a suspicion that existed for a while Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge are the new faces of Burberry. After all, they were both seen wearing Burberry creations on red carpets events in the last couple of months. They star together in the brand's fall campaign as the adorable couple they are. The Burberry fall/winter 2013 campaign lensed by renowned photographer Mario Testino is titled “ A British Love Story” and features classy pieces from the “Trench Kisses” collection.

Burberry’s Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey confirmed another thing we've suspected about the atmosphere of the new campaign: “This was a shoot full of love and laughter. It was such a treat to work with Sienna and Tom, and to capture their magic together”, he stated.

The Burberry campaign for fall/winter 2013 is not limited to suggestive black and white photos. The campaign also features a video with a special version of Tom Odell's 'Hold Me' song recorded live at the Burberry fall 2013 fashion show. The musician's debut album is already already number 1 in UK charts. We definitely can't think of a more powerful strategy to ensure the new Burberry campaign stays memorable.

Though she's a powerful style icon, Sienna Miller recently told 'Le Figaro' that since she became a mother for the first time 11 months ago, she became totally obvious of current fashion trends: "I don't know what the new fashion trends are! With my daughter, Marlowe, I don't have time to follow this anymore. I love fashion but I'm not obsessed by it. I love work, my style, but I don't think only about that, even though some people want to believe the contrary. I don't wake up in the morning saying, 'Hmm, what an icon I am!' My life is very different; I've got a baby who leaves me only two hours of peace each night."

Well, we're quite sure she'll be stealing the spotlight again in no time after this. After all, the cuteness-infused Burberry autumn/winter 2013 campaign proves that she didn't lose her abilities one bit. In fact, this is one of the most convincing 'couples' Burberry campaigns to date, don't you think?

The Kenzo resort 2014 collection is filled with attention-grabbing ensembles. This time, designers Carol Lim and Humberto Leon decided to put a truly personal touch on the new offerings and chose influences from their home state California and style accents from their youth as inspiration. The label invites its fans to “wander nonchalantly through the relaxed and carefree life of a sunkissed, sunshine state citizen”. A simple glimpse at the new designs makes the invitation seem more than appealing.

For the two designers, a laid back vibe isn't synonym with unstructured silhouettes, breezy maxi dresses or pastel tees. The 'carefree life' envisioned in the new Kenzo resort 2014 collection revolves around high waisted carrot pants, cropped jackets, graphic prints and a multitude of edgy accents. The luxury retailer opts for high impact techniques like color blocking to ensure that the new ensembles will help its loyal customers avoid blending in with the crowd. With vibrant colors like bubble-gum pink, bright coral and blue, that possibility will definitely be extremely slim.

Palm tree prints evoke the feeling of summer holiday like no other motif so the prevalence of such pieces in the new Kenzo resort 2014 line is far from being surprising. What is impressive, however, is that the fact that the palm trees are actually handpainted. More unexpected was the label's choices as far as fabrics were concerned, garments in 3-D honeycomb being one of the most eloquent examples.

Standout pieces from the new line include classy jumpsuits, oversized coats, printed jackets, high waist shorts or cropped blouses. Even so, the label didn't opt for low-profile accessories. Instead, the new Kenzo resort 2014 collection brought colorful wedges, modern handbags, funky sunglasses and cute necklaces to further enhance the edgy flair of the new outfits that are incorporates elements from music, nature and art. To say the new line is intriguing would definitely be an understatement.

Get your glam on with this party makeup for brown eyes! Follow this step by step makeup tutorial to bring out your brown colored eyes!

Having brown eyes allows you to play with a big variety of eye makeup colors. Create this vibrant eye makeup with glamorous gold and purple tones to bring out the warmth of brown eyes. Wear this party makeup to the prom, a nigh-out and the club or whenever you feel like glamming up.

Brown Eye Party Makeup: Flawless Skin

Start by creating a flawless canvas and work an illuminating face primer into the skin. If your skin is oily, use a primer with a mattifying effect. Apply foundation using a synthetic brush that will buff and blend the product into the skin for a natural effect. A synthetic brush picks up just the right amount of foundation allowing you to layer it for more coverage. Use a small stiff brush to apply concealer on imperfections then blend it into foundation with your fingers. Then set the base with finishing powder to keep skin fresh and shine free all night long. 

Party Makeup for Brown Eyes: Steps

Apply an eyeshadow primer to increase color payoff and make your makeup last longer. Add a loose golden eyeshadow on the entire mobile lid using a firm brush and press gently to deposit the pigment. Apply a purple eyeshadow to the outer corner of the eyes with a small brush to have greater precision when creating a strong V shape. Gold and purple are two of the best eyeshadows for brown eyes and will look amazing on both blondes and brunettes.

Switch to a soft blending brush and nude eyeshadow to blend the colors and make sure there are no harsh edges. Use an angled brush with the purple eyeshadow to define the outer corner of the eyes. If it's difficult for you to get the effect using the brush, you can get similar results with the eyeshadow tape trick. 

Add depth to the eyes and thicken the eyelashes by applying a matte black eyeshadow to the outer corner of the eyes. Blend it in an upward motion for an eye lifting effect. Define the lower lash line with the same black eyeshadow going half way in, then continue with the purple eyeshadow towards the inner corner of the eyes.

Add a golden eyeshadow to the inner corners to brighten up the eyes, then follow with a soft white color to bring them out even more. Skip this step if you've got wide set eyes, as this will only make them look farther apart. Use the same white eyeshadow to highlight the brow bone applying it under the eyebrow along the arch. Add a touch of soft shimmer under the eyebrows for a glamorous party look.

Define the waterline with a soft black eye pencil then trace the upper lash line using a liquid liner and extend it into a flick. Finish off the eye makeup by curling lashes, your favorite mascara, and shape eyebrows with an ashy brown color if needed. 

Brown Eyes Party Makeup: Cheeks and Lips

Use a matte bronzer or powder to contour nose, cheeks and forehead for a narrowing effect. Add color to the cheeks with a pink blush followed by an illuminating powder for highlight.

Balance out the strong eye makeup with soft lips and finish off your party look with a nude pink lipstick and a drop of lip gloss.

Your party makeup for brown eyes is finished. Make sure you take your time to layer and blend the colors really well to make it last all night long without too many touch-ups.

The Penelope Cruz for Loewe fall 2013 campaign might not be surprising at the first glimpse. After all, the star's collaboration with the label is far from being new. But, as it often happens, first impressions can be deceiving.

This time, the star isn't just the pretty face that shows off the label's hot offerings. Penelope Cruz is also a co-designer for the label's newest handbag which will be presented later this year. What's more, she also enlisted the help of her sister, Monica Cruz for the project in order to ensure the new options will have distinguishable Spanish influences.

“We wanted to do something special but also practical, and we wanted the design to have an unmistakable Spanish element”, Penelope stated. 

Practical aspects were also on Monica's mind: “We wanted a bag that would be useful for women who need to carry many things and have them all to hand at the same time.” The new Loewe fall 2013 handbag isn't the sister's first such project. Back in 2007, the duo designed a capsule collection for Spanish retailer Mango. 

Like an experimented team, the two sisters synchronized perfectly: “We usually like the same things. When we do the design meetings separately, we tend to choose the same materials and colors,” Penelope told WWD.

The new Loewe handbag, designed under the guidance of label’s departing creative director, Stuart Vevers is a cross body bag with outside pockets and comes in a variety of colors and is scheduled to hit the label's stores worldwide from the 1st of November onward. In addition to the handbag, the new Cruz collection will feature coin purses and zip wallets. 

The new Loewe fall 2013 campaign was shot by Alas and Marcus Piggott on the rooftop of the Casino de Madrid. As always, the focus is placed on the elegance and refinement of the new fall 2013 Loewe offerings.

Though the new Loewe ad campaign for fall/winter 2014 feels more like a teaser than a full campaign, it definitely brings enough exciting offerings from fab coats to handbags. If the handbags presented in the latest Loewe campaign resemble the ones from The Cruz collection, fashionistas will definitely be in for a treat. Well, we'll just have to wait and see.

Dark red hair color is a great option for olive, tanned skin tones, as well as for those with natural dark hair. Remember that dark red hair shades are equally flattering when paired with dark eyes as well!

A dark red hair shade you can't go wrong with is dark cherry reds. This dark red hair color has a violet undertone in it, and it looks gorgeous if your natural hair color is rich, dark brown or even black.

How to Dye Dark Hair Red

If you don't want to go to a professional hair salon to dye your locks dark red, you may do it at home. Even if dark red hues are less damaging than bleaching, there are some things to keep in mind when doing a DIY at home dye job.

Use deep-conditioning hair products one week prior to your hair dyeing process. By this, you'll ensure that your dark red hair color stays longer on your locks, and that your hair is well nourished and less damaged after the coloring job.

Apply the dark red hair dye of your choice, closely following the instructions on the package. After leaving the dark red hair dye on your locks for the required amount of time, rinse your tresses with lukewarm water. Too cold or too warm water may alter the final shade of your dark red hair.

How to Care for Dark Red Hair

Dark red hair needs special care, as it's the color fades the fastest. Use color protective shampoos and conditioners, designed for maintaining red hair color, and you can even go for color depositing products between touch ups. Glossing treatments may also be needed, if you wish to prolong the shine of your dark red hair color.

Best Dark Red Hair Dyes

In order to get an vibrant dark red hair color, you need to use the best dark red hair dyes available on the market. You can never go wrong with leading brands such as L'Oreal or Garnier.

Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Color Creme in Sangria and Dark Intense Auburn are just two of the line's stylish dark red hair color shades . Enhanced with vitamin E and grape seed oil, Garnier permanent hair colors won't damage your tresses. What's more, the avocado conditioner that comes with the permanent red hair dye for dark hair also nourishes your locks, so that you may wear your beautiful, dark red hair with confidence.

When it comes to L'Oreal, go for dark red hues from the Feria range. These permanent hair colors will stay put up to eight weeks and are guaranteed to keep your locks shiny and vibrant.

Creative director Raf Simons took inspiration from four continents (Europe, Asia, Africa and America) and tried to bring options for each one. In light of this info, it becomes a lot easier to understand why the new line is so complex and comprehensive. Redefining couture, or at least bringing a more practical version of it was one of the designer's biggest desires for the new line.

“The basic idea for me is that I like the idea of freeing up couture. It annoys me that couture is thought of as the circus clown of fashion. I think that psychologically, emotionally, it can be approached the same way as ready-to-wear: out there for women to enjoy and to wear.…It’s a psychology of how clothes can look in relation to a modern woman and the way she is living her life and experiencing the culture,” he stated. He did deliver on the promise, bringing many options that could be worn on more than a handful of occasions and who reflected some of the cultural influences he used as inspiration without relying on obvious sartorial cliches.

To further add a sense of originality to the new Dior haute couture fall 2013 collection, the designer enlisted the help of photographers Patrick Demarchelier, Willy Vanderperre, Paolo Roversi and Terry Richardson, who created projections that were perfectly timed with each exit on the runway. How did the designer honor each culture he drew inspiration from? For his European clientele, he brought Parisian style influences like gray tweed tailoring and classy structured coats.

American style preferences were honored with sporty vibes. The Asian culture was associated with high tech fabrics and architectural vibes, while the African continent was mostly reflected through Masai influences in the new Dior fall 2013 couture collection. The multitude of ideas comprised in the new Dior couture collection might have made it difficult to follow but the always unexpected set of offerings definitely made the designer's third couture show presented at the Hôtel des Invalides, Paris an undeniably interesting one.

Atelier Versace couture fall 2013 lineup kicked off the 2013 Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Donatella Versace always manages to bring the coolest ensembles, so no wonder the show brought together several celebs. Mena Suvari, Emma Roberts, Afef Jnifen and Franca Sozzani or Uma Thurman were just some of the attendees that anxiously awaited the presentation of the new line. But, the runway was not without surprises. The most important surprise was seeing Naomi Campbell on the runway alongside younger models Karlie Kloss and Anna Selezneva among many others.

Atelier Versace's fall 2013 couture collection was defined by sexiness. While that's hardly a surprise when we're talking about the label, the concept behind the label's new line is certainly an interesting one: “The perfection, glamour and elegance of the black-and-white era of photographs and movies, with its light and shadow. The allure of undressing or being undressed.” Though relatively confusing, these ideas certainly help explain the multitude of bold cutouts and spectacular cropped pieces that heated up the runway.

Though this time the designer left the punk vibes spotted in the Versace fall 2013 collection, the new offerings will definitely attract the edgy style lovers' attention. Spikes were replaced by luxurious exotic skins and spectacular body hugging dresses took the place of ultra tight pants. From subtle textural and chromatic contrasts to intricate embellishments, the designer spared no effort and made sure that each of her new designs would capture everyone's attention at any given moment of the show. That mission was definitely accomplished!

The Atelier Versace couture fall 2013 collection brought a myriad of covetable coats, edgy suits, many ultra revealing dresses and a variety of exciting evening-wear offerings. Aside from gorgeous strapless floor-length dresses, the new line brought sparkly jumpsuits with plenty of sheer details or bold long skirt and cropped top combos that definitely push the boundaries of sexiness. The well chosen color palette which revolved around deep blue, green, burgundy instantly added a sophisticated vibe to the edgy Atelier Versace fall 2013 couture lineup.
